India's tour of Australia in 2012 was a nightmare as the visitors were thrashed by the hosts. Australia dominated the series but their finest moment of dominance arrived on the first day of the third Test.

India had lost the first two Tests and once again their batting crumbled in the first innings of the third Test. India were all-out for 161 and to annihilate the visitors, David Warner came to crease.

Warner, who was stamped as a limited-overs batsman in his early days, was proving his calibre in Test cricket and he chose this Test to exhibit his efficiency.

Warner smashed Umesh Yadav in his first spell and tore apart Vinay Kumar who was playing his maiden Test. The Aussie opener brought his fifty off just 36 balls and went on to score his hundred off 69 balls on the first day of the Test itself.

Warner fell to Ishant Sharma while batting on 180. The assault from Warner was responsible for India getting demolished in only three days.
